... Total Gridlock!

-----
Not really. Remember that Clintoon did plenty of objectionable things (at least to us Conservatives) by way of the Executive Order. Things that it took a long time for Dubya to reverse. Some still haven't been reversed. Don't ask me to enumerate. My memory isn't THAT good. Maybe someone else can link us to a listing. (Please)

The word "Gridlock" is like the word "is"...well, you know the rest of the story.

I agree. Again that is where the Congress had failed miserably in their resposnsiability to prevent the Executive branch from legislating (effectively). That is why I think at least one of the houses needs to be seriously Republican.
I wish I still had all the links I've foud over the years. There is a site somewhere that lists all of the Executive Orders. I foud that Klintoon was not the only one to use them to legislate.
I will agree that GW used them to un-do much of the damage done by Klintoon.

I just HAD to come pack to this point. I had to chuckle because that happens to me many times. You have been in the battle, up to your neck in alligators, done your homework then won or lost the point/bill/etc.
Later I am explaining a position, the memory of the fight fresh but the details of the information getting foggier and foggier and someone who wasn't in the fight says something like "What Bill/fight/position/etc". I know darn well that there is plenty of info to back me up but that was X years ago! I also know that the "prove it" question is valid.
(Smile on my face) - Klintoons abuse of executive orders is not in dispute - I was there too.
